In case you’ve missed what’s happening at TVWriter™, the most popular blog posts during the week ending yesterday were:

Oh, it pains me to write this, it really does; but I have not watched Fear the Walking Dead since its return in August.
Yes! Me; The Champion of the show since Season One, Episode One! Me; The one who was giving people grief on Twitter to have patience and let the show develop before judging it as “boring” or “not having enough walkers to make it interesting”!

This week’s collection of recent articles from other websites about TV, TV writing, etc., etc., etc., including a couple about writing for television in places we in the U.S. don’t normally think about.
The plan here is for you to click on their headlines and visit the sites and read the posts in full…and is anybody asks, tell ’em TVWriter™ sentcha, okay?
